I think he'll make it, not necessarily start but make it. I'm sure management wants as much depth as possible after last year in the playoffs, but odds are it won't happen again. EA seems to be pretty high on Short as a person and player and him and Lavar are very close, so those factors lean to him being on our final roster at least.
I'm still laughing at our fan base's immediate reaction of drafting Wilkinson, and now things are coming out of our camp that he may be our most exciting pick and a possible candidate to start this year? Just goes to show, you have to know the guy before you rip the pick.
